I'm about to change ISP's, and will receive a wireless router with the

(oldish PC) wi-fi network card, that has a chipset that is friendly
towards open-source.
I wanted an open-source pcmcia wifi card which would be plug and play.
The Atheros drivers are in the kernel. So I searched Ebay for atheros
and found a card. It was a cheap no-name brand, but works great and is
very fast.
I installed knetworkmanager (into kubuntu at the time), which I think is
in gNS-kde, and it just worked -- with WPA2 as well :-)
Another idea is to use a USB stick you can move around PCs. The rt73
chipset works. That's in the Edimax somebody else mentioned. There you
have a manufacturer who supports open source.
